The following1 sketch of the Ladies
jlemorial Association" of Wilmington,
js taken from an address delivered by
the late Joshua T. James on May 10,
1300-
(Continued from last - Monday)
At the time Mrs. Anderson was elect-
president, the Memorial Association
6tiil owed $175 on the monument. No
record is found of the settlement of
this debt, but it must have been paid
during her administration, as she men
tions the deed for the lot being giv
tn, and also reports the placing "at a
ost of .ess than $3 each of 56 stone
markers at the graves of Confederate
goIdiers in private lots. This was done
t her suggestion.
In 1S76 Col. John L. Cantwell was
Chief Marshal, and the address was by
the Hon. George'Davis. For some rea
son, the orator selected could not ful
fill the engagement, and Mr. Davis
was persuaded at the last moment to
cake his place; and many still remem
ber his noble sentiments and eloquent
words. The day was also made spec
ially and sadly memorable from the
fact that Capt. Thos. C. DeRossett was
stricken with paralysis on the grounds,
nd died exactly one week thereafter.
He was captain of the Whiting Rifles
and had marched with his company in
the procession, and just drawn them up
an line at the foot of the monument
nd given the command, "Rest," when
iie fell.
In October, 1876, Mrsl A. J. DeRos
ett died. It was at her suggestion
Hhe Memorial Association organized,
iand she was always, earnestly and
eealously, a eustaining hand in all its
twork. Since 1878 the Cemetery Com
pany has had the Confederate Lot in
Tits perpetual care. They agreed to
take it in charge, on payment of a
much smaller sum than is usually de
manded, and the Superintendent, Mr.
UTimothy Donlan has always not only
aken pride in keeping it in perfect
order, but has, with , the utmost kind
ness and zeal, assisted the ladies of the
'Association by every means - in his
power. In 1881, the Memorial Associa
tion was the recipient of $37.20 col
lected by the "Veterans, to aid them in
Itheir work. In 1884, and also in 189..
Memorial Day falling on Suttfrriay, the
iobservance was postponed, to Monday,
(notwithstanding the 10 th of May .was,
fcince 1881, a legal holiday. In 1885
end 1896, it was postponed' because it
fell on Sunday. The only time in all
the thirtyyears that postponement was
necessary on account of Inclement
weather was in 1888.
At the annual meeting May 31st,
1S84, it was reported that up to that
itime 124 stones had been placed at the
graves of Confederate Soldiers sleep
ing in Oakdale. The President earn-
stly urged .the -continuance of this
work even though the number Increas
ed to such an extent that it becane
Impossible to place floral decorations
pon all, "for In yearB to come, though
tie mound should be levelled with the
surrounding earth, the simple stone
will tell its own story."
A resolution was then adopted "That
s the number of soldiers who have
died since the war is so great, and the
membership and Interest in the Asso-
ation decreased, as well as the quan
ty of flowers contributed, that the
Association continue to erect the me
morial stones over those who pass
away, but the decoration be confirmed,
according to the original design of the
Association, to those who lost their
lives during or at the close of th war,
together with the usual decorations
for those whose ashes mingle with the
oiV .
It was determined at this meeting
to raise an amount of money to as
sist in establishing" a Confederate
Home, either in North Carolina, or at
Richmond; preference being given, of
course, to our own State if the attempt
Ehould be made to establish a home
"within her borders. In 1889 a floral
tribute was placed by the Memorial As
sociation on the grave of one vrho
ioved the cause of the South no less
then they "Adrian H. VanBokkelen,
-hose arms were stretched out to help
the living, or honor the dead Confed
erate, and whose loving zeal never
E&gged." The President, in her ad
dress this year, reports that a neat
stone had been placed, marking the
frave of Mrs. Greenhow, who lost her
life in the service of her country. This
Itone is engraven with her name, and
the circumstances of her -death, and
through the kindness of Mr. Donald
MacRae, President of the Cemetery
Company, who donated material for the
loundation, its cost to the Association
as only 30. In the report in 1889
Mention is made for the first time of
the fact that the statue on the monu
taen is cast from cannon captured dur
ing the war; the ladies having been
le to carry out their desires In this
wpect through Mr. "VanBokkelen's ef
forts. On December 7th, 1889, a special
meeting was c aired, and resolution
Passed on the death of Hon. Jefferson
Davis, Ex-President of the Confederate
Btates.
hi 1890 Memorial Day fell on Satur
day, and the ceremonies were postpon
ed until the following Monday. In
1891, the day falling on Sunday it was
decided not to postpone the ceremonies,
despite the protests of many, though
lhe usual program was varied some
what, to accord with the day. . There
as no procession from the city. The
J'teht Infantry, however, attended in
lull uniform, under the command of
Lieut. DuVal French. A memorial ser
mon was delivered by Rev. Dr. Pat
ron, then of Grace Church, Memphis,
J'enn., and former Chaplain of the 3rd
P- C. Infantry. Rev. Dr. Carmiohal,
"f St. John's church was Chaplain, and
the Benediction was pronounced by
Bt. Rev. A. A. Watson, who had also
;een a Confederate Chaplain. Col.
Jno. L. Cantwell, always the faithful
nd reliable friend of the Association
as Chief Marshal.
In July, 1891, the old Confederate
jeterana of North Carolina, under Col.
E D. Hall, had a re-union, camping
it Wrightsville Sound. The Memorial
fociation did all in their power to
Ja to the comfort and enjoyment of
lile old war-worn heroes; collecting
"oney, provisions and other creature
?0forts. and visltina: the camp to
la' With th vtrnr mnA to M that
eir wants were supplied. The Cha-I-of
the Committee, Mrs. James Stei
'"nson, Vice-President of theAssocia
Fa. in her report states that CoL HfcU
f.aa sent to the Treasurer the sum of
'U5 for the Davis Memorial Fund,
by !
Cape Fear Chapter, U. D. C.
but does not state from what source
it was derived. She also says that
other money was given."
At the annual meeting in 1892, Miss
E. Kate Burr, Secretary since 1879,
was compelled to resign because of
failing health, and Miss Mary F. San
ders was chosen to fill the vacancy.
At. this meeting a verbal message was
received from Capt. John L. Cantwell,
offering to the ladies the use of a room
In the handsome armory of that com
pany on Market street, as headquar
ters for the Association. Still later a
meeting was called for receiving and
answering a formal tender, through
Col. Wm. L. DeRossett, of the room
m tne w. Lj. I. Armory. The corre
cpunaenee was ordered published. At
this meeting CoL Cantwell tendered
his resignation as permanent Chief
aaarsnai. It was accepted, and Col.
Roger Moore requested to act. He de
clined, and then a tender was made
to Capt. W. P. Oldham, who accept
ed th office. Miss Mary Fairfax Da
vis was requested to organize a Ju
nior Branch of the Memorial Associa
tion, which was afterwards done.
At a meeting held May 3rd, 1893, it
was decided to offer the services of the
Association to the Wilmington Light
Infantry at their coming Bazaar, which
oner was accepted through their rep
resentatives, Capt. Henry Savage and
Capt. A. L. DeRossett.
It being understood that President
Davis' remains, in course of removal
to Richmond, were to lie in state at
the Capitol in Raleigh. Mrs. Kate De
Rosset Meares and Miss Hettie James,
and Miss Mary Fairfax Davis from the
Junior . Branch, were appointed dele
gates to attend the services. Mrs. John
T. Rankin and Mrs. Joshua T. James
were selected to arrange an appropri
ate floral t ribute to be sent from the
Association. About this time it was
resolved hat all moneys received from
the defunct National Bank, in which
the funds of the Association had been
deposited, be appropriated to the Jef
ferson Davis Monument. The Secre
tary was also instructed to ask the
County Commissioners for an appropri
ation of $200 for New Hanover's con
tribution to the Confederate Monu
ment, in process of construction in
Raleigh, the committee promising to
record on the monument the names of
those counties contributing said
amount.
Col. Cantwell was, at this time, in
duced to resume the office of Chief
Marshall for Memorial Day. The ad
dress -on the 10th of May was made by
Hon. "Julian S. Carr subject Henry L.
Wyatt the Confederate Soldier Rank
and File. It is to be regretted that no
record of the subjects of th yearly
addresses has been preserved, many of
them being, no doubt, valuable his
torical papers, but we have only men
tion of that of Henry A. London, Esq.,
which has printed in pamphlet form
to be sold for the benefit of the As
sociation that of Capt. S. A. Ashe in
1892, on the Right of Secession, and
that; o,Capt. R. B. Davis,Un 1893, on
the "Defences of the Cape Fear River.
On the 1st of June a meeting was call
ed and resolutions of regret passed
and placed on the minutes, on the
death, since the last annual meeting,
of six members: Mrs. Armand J. De
Rosset (formerly Miss Kate Kennedy),
Mrs. Mary S. Cushing, Mrs. J. McRee
Quince, and Mrs. Lawrence, better
known as Sister Cecelia. The first two
were among the founders of the As
sociation, and all were faithful mem
bers. A resolution was passed appro
priating all money on hand, amounting
to $84.33, to the Jefferson Davis mon
ument in Richmond. It was proposed
to form a committee for collecting
Items of historical interest, and Mrs.
D. H. Parsley, Miss Hetiie James,
Mrs. Josh. T. James, Miss Mary F.
Sanders, Miss Kate Cantwell, Miss
Mary Fair Davis, and Miss Mary Maf
flt were appointed on the committee.
In 1894 efforts were made to Increase
the membership. The annual assess
ment, which had been originally one
dollar, and in 1875 reduced to fifty
cents, was now made twenty-five cents.
Ex-Presidents of the Association were
made honorary members, and relieved
of payment of dues. Twenty-three
new members were enrolled: during tne
year. In 1895, ten dollars from the
Association, with four dollars in vol
untary contributions from members,
was sent to General Colston, who was
a helpless Invalid in th Confederate
Home in Richmond.
In October, Col. Cantwell, on account
of failing health, resigned the position
of Chief Marshal, which resignation
was regretfully accepted. At this time
it was ordered that General Whiting's
grave in Greenwood Cemetery, New
York, should each year be decorated,
in behalf of the Association.
At a meeting on January 29th, 1896,
it was decided, by vote, that there
ehould be no more postponement of
Memorial observance, on account of
10th of May falling on Sunday. This
decision was afterwards overruled
and the next Memorial observance held
on Monday, the 11th of May. The Chief
Marshall on this occasion was Col. Wm.
L. DeRosset, his ten aides being all
members of George Davis Camp, Sons
of Veterans.
In 1897, it was decided to merge the
Association in that or the Daughters
of the Confederacy, "provided they
agree to do our distinctive work," and
this has since been done, the memorial
committee of the .Daughters being
composed of former members of the
Memorial Association.
And so, through good days and evil,
with success or with discouragement,
in season and out of season, the Me
morial Association was at its post,
ready to fulfill the duties undertaken.
When, after the monument had
been completed, and the political and
financial conditions were such that
existence was a bitter struggle, the
general interest in memorial subjects
waned It made no difference with
them, and, as time passed, one and an
other fell by the wayside, or enfeebled
by age or illness, was forced to cease
from her labors, and the ranks grew
thinner and thinner, those who were
left still did what they could. Ah!
those faithful women! They wrought
better than they knew. With con
stancy like enduring granite, and de
votion of the purest metal, with an
insistence in teaching like rAs ,f'
ven. letter by letter, and line upon
line, and with loving memories like
i.Vi. wreathing -their monuments,
they have builded it of living hearts.

VERY HEAVY GAIN IN COTTON
New Orleans Prices Jump Upward as
Result of Buying Wave Ad
vance of $21 a Bale.
New Orleans, La., Sept. 23. Ex
tremely wide advances were recorded
in cotton last week as the result of
a buying wave which began early in
the week and was still in evidence on
the close. At their best, future prices
were 417 to 429 points over the pre
vious week's close, a gain of about $21
a bale. Spot nrices rose 331 Doints.
Last prices in the contract department
showed net gains of 391 to 397 jpints.
The buying resulted jmiefly from the
Improvement in the spot situation over
the South, the larger demand and
smaller offerings. A secondary factor
was the continued crop deterioration
reported in private returns from the
belt, leading to belief in an unfavorable
September report from the government
and causing private crop estimates to
be considerably reduced. Heavy out
side buying developed and in this
Western interests were prominent.
Shorts became numerous at the ad
vance and covered in a large way, es
pecially toward the end of the week.
On the two closing sessions of the
week, contracts rose well over 100
points each session.
This week many traders will look
for a reaction from the advance, es
pecially if anything like favorable
weather is experienced over the belt.
Any slackening in the spot demand, or
an increase in spot offerings would
also be against the markets, whih
many traders and brokers now c"S
technically weak.
On the other hand, the tropical dis
turbance reported on the week-end
near Santo Domingo may become a fac
tor of importance and private bureau
reports may point to severe crop dete
rrioratio nand foster bullish expecta
tions concerning the last government
report of the season on condition. Cn
tlnued strength In Southern spot mar
kets would be of the greatest assist
ance to those who are working for
higher prices in the contract market.
WEEKLY FINANCIAL REVIEW
Market Was Irregular But the Under
tone Was Better Liberty Bonds
at a Premium.
New York, Sept. 23. Although the
stock market Was highly irregular
during the week, a better undertone
was apparent and for the first time in
several weeks tbe most extensive
movements were upward. There was
less liquidation of investment shares
and after a period of depression early
in the week professional operations
for the decline met with effective re
sistance. The agreement on a price of 23 1-2
cents for copper stimulated the stooks
affected and the industrial list gener
ally. Fears of a severe marking down
of the price were relieved and in the
light of the copper agreement there was
less apprehension regarding the reg
ulation of the prices of other commod
ities. Another favorable development was
the adoption of measures to stabilize
money rates, New York bankers put
ting out large sums in loans, although
there was no marked relaxation of
rates for call or time funds.
The progress of the war gave im
petus to the growth of a more hope
ful feeling. The improvement in the
Russian situation was regarded as es
pecially encouraging and the market
for rubles held steady after the sharp
recovery from the recent acute decline.
Speculators who attempted to depress
the war, 'stocks on the German and
Austrian replies to the papal peace
(proposals met with little success.
Stock market training continued to
be centered in the Industrials and the
operation's were largely professional.
Liberty bonds sold at a premium for
the first time in several weeks.
URGES OBSERVANCE OE
FIRE PREVENTION DAY
Governor Points Ont in His Proclama
tion the Great Extent of Fire
Damage Annually.
(Special Star Correspondence.)
Raleigh, Sept. 23. A proclamation
has been issued by Governor Blckett
appealing for complete observance of
Fire Prevention ay, October 9,
throughout the state under the aus
pices of the ' State department of in
surance. The proclamation says:
"Taxes are a great burden and a source
of constant irritation. The Ingenuity
of statesmen is being taxed to reduce
and equalize the tax burden, and yet
the fire tax levied annually on the
State of North Carolina Is practically
equal to the entire taxes levied for the
support of the State government. We
may equalize the government taxes
but they must be paid by some one.
Two-thirds of the fire taxes are whole
ly unnecessary and due to lack of rea
sonable care."
He adds that it was a realization of
this that constrained the General As
sembly to designate a Fire Preven
tion Day and' require a proclamation
by the governor for Its observance.
He asks that the schools and municipal
authorities take special pains to have
adequate observance and that citizens
give special attention to the day and
its important bearing and also to the
condition of their premises to eliminate
possibilities of fire.
not realize the grandeur of the noble
heritage of devotion to principle, and

things. But the Memorial Association

aims, they trod the path unfaltering
